Lu Zan gave orders, and all kinds of valuable medicinal materials from the imperial hospital were sent to Yicui Palace like running water.

Within two or three days, Jingshu's cold weather was almost gone.

Xiu Qing was relieved to see that she was indeed fine. She had vomited blood and fainted after taking the medicine. Xiu Qing was really frightened by the ferocious properties of the medicine.

Early in the morning, Eunuch Yan, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came with his people.

Eunuch Chen was also following him.

Last time, Eunuch Chen came to Yicui Palace and took away the poor little palace maid who accidentally ate the broken bowl of gravel. Before leaving, he sneered at Jing Shu in a rather arrogant manner.

This time, as soon as he entered the palace gate, he knelt down and crawled all the way to Jingshu. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped the loudmouths on himself!

"Eunuch Chen, what are you doing?"

Jing Shu knew why he was doing this, but she still pretended to be surprised and confused.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was rude earlier and said some disrespectful words to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not blame you!"

After Eunuch Chen finished speaking, he kowtowed several times.

Hearing this, Jing Shu twisted her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes still seemed to be filled with confusion.

After a long while, she finally remembered something.

"Eunuch Chen said that, but what about the last time someone deliberately mixed the broken bowl of gravel into my meal? Speaking of which, although Eunuch Chen's words that day were indeed unpleasant, they were loyal words, so I understand. What should I do next? You have helped me, so how can I blame you?"

Eunuch Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her words were sincere and she didn't seem to hold any grudges.

"Thank you for your forgiveness! Your Majesty is really kind-hearted and generous! I can't thank you enough!"

He quickly thanked him.

"Okay, get up quickly. Just for the sake of Eunuch Yan, I will forget the blame. What's more, in this harem, I will have to rely on the care of my two father-in-laws in the future."

Jing Shu smiled brightly, raised her hand and asked Xiu Qing to show them tea.

She had heard gossip from the palace people.

Although Eunuch Chen was an eunuch, he had tender skin, red lips, and white teeth. He was the adopted son of Eunuch Yan.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

In fact, the two of them had an illicit male-male relationship where they slept together in the same room every night.

Eunuch Yan is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He specially brought Eunuch Chen here because he was afraid that he would be favored in the future and seek revenge on his "good son".

Jing Shu is not a person who doesn't know how to measure things, and she is happy to sell him this face.

At this time, when Eunuch Yan heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and his attitude couldn't help but become more respectful:

"The old slave came to the empress today because of the order of the Holy One. The Holy One said that the empress' Yicui Palace still lacked some palace servants, and ordered the old slave to allocate a few more people to help the empress. These palace servants are all outside now. Wait, this slave will ask them all to come in for the queen to choose?"

"It's time for you, Mr. Stern."

Jingshu said with a smile.

Not long after, a total of ten palace people entered the palace, including four eunuchs and six palace maids.

According to regulations, she was in the concubine position and should be served by six maids and four eunuchs.

In the past, Liu Liangdi was so domineering that she took away one first-class maid, one second-class maid, and one second-class eunuch, leaving only seven people in Jingshu Palace.

Later, with the incident of broken bowls and pebbles, another third-class palace maid was missing.

Now Jingshu needs to make up for the missing four slaves.

"Your Majesty, these slaves are carefully selected by Lao Nu and Xiao Chenzi. Your Majesty, you can feel free to choose."

Eunuch Yan said again.

"I can rest assured about the person chosen by the two father-in-laws."

Jing Shu said, then his eyes fell on several palace people.

She raised her hand and ordered a eunuch and three maids to come out.

"Eunuch Chen, how are these people doing?" Jing Shu asked deliberately.

"Your Majesty has a very good taste. These people are all honest and willing to work, and they don't have any messy thoughts." Eunuch Chen immediately said with a flattering smile.

Jing Shu felt a little at ease when she saw that Eunuch Chen and Eunuch Yan were both calm and did not talk about any of them.

She knew that other concubines might take this opportunity to put some spies in.

This kind of thing is impossible to prevent, but she still wants to avoid it as much as possible.

"Since the queen has chosen someone, I will leave first."

"Eunuch Yan and Eunuch Chen, walk slowly."

Jingshu asked Xiuqing to give them the reward money.

Afterwards, Xiu Qing and Chen Xiao were asked to settle the new palace residents.

One palace maid was promoted to second-class palace maid, and the other two third-class palace maids and eunuchs were promoted to third-class eunuchs. They were all waiting outside the palace.

Of the four people who came, none of them were worthy of Jingshu's respect.

However, they didn't show any dissatisfaction on their faces. They all accepted the order honestly and went to wait outside.

Chishuang was now promoted by Jingshu to be a first-class palace maid together with Xiuqing, serving by her side.

Two days passed like this, and Lu Zan never entered the harem.

Jingshu's body has recovered completely.

She was just thinking about whether she should hang out in front of Lu Zan again and compete for his favor when she heard Xiu Qing suddenly ask: "Empress, now that you are in good health, shouldn't it be time to go to the Empress to pay her respects?

"By the way, will you also hang up the green sign in the Jingsi Room again?"

Jing Shu was stunned when he heard this.

Before she could react, Xiu Qing continued: "Only if the green sign is hung in the guest room, the emperor can turn over your sign and order you to sleep with him.

"And it's true that you haven't paid a visit to the Empress for more than three months."

This is true.

Ever since she was injured while blocking Lu Zan's knife, she has been using the excuse of recuperating to recover from her injuries and has never gone to the Queen to pay her respects.

As for the green head card, she didn't even remember that there was such a rule.

But the question is, even if she gets a green card, will Lu Zan come to favor her?

If he doesn't come, what's the point?

"Let's not hang up for now. Just say that I haven't fully recovered yet and continue to go to the Queen to ask for leave."

After thinking for a moment, Jingshu said.

Xiu Qing always listened to her and had no objection to this.

Jingshu began to wonder.

It's been so many days, is it possible that Lu Zan still hasn't found out about her lover?

Or is it that it has been found out?

Inexplicably, Jing Shu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

She couldn't help but pulled Xiu Qing and asked: "There is something that happened in the boudoir that I can't remember clearly. Please help me think about it carefully."

"What did the empress say?" Xiu Qing looked questioning.

"That is, when I was in the boudoir, did I have any childhood sweethearts? Or does my father want to arrange any other marriage for me?"

Jing Shu asked.

"Yes." When Xiu Qing heard this, he immediately laughed, "The empress has a beautiful face. She is the most famous beauty in the capital. She is also the daughter of the Taifu. She is well-educated and sensible. The imperial city wants to marry the empress. There are countless young masters from aristocratic families.

"At that time, just for the sake of my mother-in-law's marriage, my wife met five marquis families.

"However, the one I like the most in my heart is definitely Wei Zheng, the eldest son of the Duke of Wei. The empress and he have grown up together, and she has a secret crush on him, but she once said, 'I will not marry anyone who is not the king.' What kind of words!"

When Jing Shu heard this, her scalp immediately went numb.

"What? Fangxin secretly promised?"

Oops!

"Won't you marry me if you are not the king? Ha! You are so happy with me! You are so fond of me!"

In the imperial study room, Lu Zan slammed the secret letter sent by the spy on the desk. There was a faint anger between his eyebrows, which frightened Wang Zhong and the spy so much that they dared not say anything.

The two of them thought at the same time: It's over, Concubine Jing is dead now!
